What customers don't like about Boat Party Pal 50

  • Occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues including sudden automatic disconnections
  • Reports of durability flaws, such as the device failing to charge entirely after a few weeks of use

Verdict

The boAt Party Pal 50 is a portable 2.1-channel party speaker that delivers 20W RMS stereo sound with a frequency response of 70Hz–18KHz, driven by a three-driver setup consisting of two 76mm drivers and one 51.8mm tweeter. It features Bluetooth v5.1 wireless connectivity, dynamic RGB LED lights, an IPX5 splash-resistant rating for poolside safe use, multiple playback options including USB, AUX, and FM radio, along with instant voice assistant access. Main pros include its powerful, loud volume, punchy bass performance, and diverse connectivity modes; however, its main cons include a relatively short battery playback life of up to 4.5 hours from its 3000mAh battery, a long 4.5-hour charging time, and occasional spotty FM radio reception.
